Use individual administrator accounts for better auditing

As opposed to shared administrator accounts, Milestone recommends using individual accounts for administrators. This lets you track who does what in XProtect VMS. This helps prevent malware from entering the network. You can then use an authoritative directory such as Active Directory to manage the administrator accounts.

You assign administrator accounts to roles in Management Client under Roles.
